...Guys and Dolls gig should have been Simmons' passport to full American stardom. Instead, it signaled her passage into two kinds of films: small dramas, like Hilda Crane, Home Before Dark and All the Way Home, where her character was the focus; and splashy epics that concentrated on the men. She dallied with Newman in Until They Sail, supported Peck as he made his way across The Big Country and in Spartacus was the slave who is bought by Olivier but pines for Douglas. There was some meat for her to gnaw on there, and in another 1960 film, Elmer...

...According to the indictment, the defendants were on trial for pressing for multiparty democracy and "disseminating information to distort reality and make people disbelieve the Party and state leadership." The four men, who were arrested at different times last summer, were accused of working with hostile foreign elements seeking to oust the communist government. The sentences, which range between five and 16 years, were swiftly condemned by human rights groups and Western governments. The U.S. has "deep concerns over the arrest and conviction of persons for the peaceful expression of their beliefs," said U.S. consul general, Kenneth Fairfax, following...
